According to the follow-up information in the hands of Anvis, after the incident of the 'Epee' mercenary group, some family members of the former members of the 'Epee' mercenary group took it upon themselves to investigate the whereabouts of the members of the mercenary group.
But soon, these people disappeared one by one.
One of them once claimed that he had obtained important clues to the whereabouts of the 'Epee' mercenary group, and called on others to search together.
The next day, the man's cold body was found on the roadside. There were several deep penetrating wounds on his body, and no one dared to collect it.
There are certain forces in the darkness that have launched a thorough purge of everything related to the Heavy Sword Mercenary Group.
The death of this woman is also inseparable from this.
She was investigating alone, and because she had no experience in this field, she was quickly targeted by someone who was interested in the investigation. Then she was brutally murdered on the way to Manchenko Fort.
The corpses were carried by mounted animals and dumped in the wilderness beside the road.
Before she died, her strong obsession left some soul fragments on the necklace, forming the lowest level obsession item.
Originally, with her ordinary strength, it was completely insufficient to give birth to self-awareness in her remnant soul.
Not to mention asking for help from others and eliminating one's own obsessions during life.
If this situation continues, her remnant soul will only become weaker and weaker after a long period of exposure to the sun and rain, and will eventually disappear with the weathering and rust of the attached black iron necklace.
But luckily, she met a player who had a game panel and could automatically trigger the task.
Even more fortunately, in order to explore the plot and trigger high-level tasks as much as possible, the Last Dragonborn took the initiative to dig out the truth behind this task.
Based on a warning letter, we conducted an in-depth investigation into the situation behind the scenes, stormed the secret transportation team, handed over the evidence of the White Rose Legion's smuggling to Anvis, and buried her jewelry with her lover's bones, etc.
This series of actions happened to resolve most of the woman's obsessions.
As a result, this strong obsession with relief, along with most of her prophecy talent, seeped into the material of the necklace.
This originally ordinary black iron necklace has turned into a very rare prophetic jewelry material.
This is the formation process of the necklace in front of Anvis——
Although because the woman is just an ordinary person, the final material is of a lower grade.
But after all, it is a prophecy material. If it is taken out, the price will be at least thousands of gold coins.
.….….
With his spiritual tentacles out, Avis carefully tested the various properties of this prophecy material.
Since its predecessor was a necklace, it is more suitable for making jewelry.
The way to maximize the power of this material is to use it as the main material to refine a magic ornament that can increase the prophet's ability to predict.
However, in this material, it seems that there is still a trace of obsession that has not dissipated yet——
Gently letting go of his hand, Anvis let the necklace hang in the air.
Then, staring at the blond woman in the photo of the black iron pendant, Anvis put his staff on the ground and spoke softly.
Different from usual, his tone at this time was mixed with a strange and obscure rhythm, as if he was chanting some ancient and mysterious ancestral prayer.
Moreover, the language he was using at the moment was not Manni, but an extremely rare variant of Ancient Manni.
"I don't know your name, but I know your story."
"I'm very sorry for what happened to you."
"I'm going to take this necklace of yours away."
"But following the ancient principle of equivalent exchange, I won't take it away for nothing."
"According to intelligence, I understand that you have three children. Two boys and one girl."
"In exchange for taking away this necklace, I will send someone to take care of your descendants until they reach adulthood and have enough independence."
"If one of your descendants has the talent of a professional, he will also be eligible to enter the professional college for free until he becomes a formal professional."
"In the name of me, Anvis Lo Olivendi, the agent of the soul..."
"[Spirit Realm Announcement]——"
As a spellcaster of the lawful camp, Avis always follows the code of equal exchange...
Well, most of the time.
As Anvis's chant ended, the blue crystal on the head of the staff shone slightly. Invisible magic ripples spread out instantly, echoing continuously in the silent canyon.
Although the name sounds powerful, the effect of this spell is actually to communicate with the remaining soul in the necklace.
And, because it is a declaration, this communication is one-sided.
.….….
When the lingering sound of Anvis fell, a glimmer of light flashed from the surface of the necklace, and the last trace of obsession completely dissipated from the necklace.
At the same time, the quality of the pendant material has been improved again.
——From the original low-level prophecy material, it has barely reached the mid-level level, and its value has also increased to about two to three thousand gold coins.
In the hazy moment, when the last trace of obsession left the necklace completely, Anvis seemed to see a faint shadow of a woman.
She has long golden hair as dazzling as the sun, and snow-white skin as delicate as milk.
With a slightly sad smile on her face, the woman bowed deeply and gratefully to Anvis.
Then, she floated towards the Hand of the Earth, and slowly hugged the broken corpse lying in the huge palm, with strong reluctance and nostalgia in her eyes.
Once upon a time, she also had a happy family——
Spots of light floated from her body, and her figure gradually faded in the light.
A drop of illusory tears streaked across her cheek, but before it fell into the land, it was already scattered with her body in the never-ending wind.
In the desolate and silent valley of stars, her story, unknown to anyone, has come to an end.
——Even the information about the Olivendi family never mentioned her name.
"it's over……"
Feeling the sudden increase in fate's feedback, Anvis put away the necklace and stared at the extremely lonely corpse lying quietly in the palm of the earth, and couldn't help but sigh.
A young and promising mercenary, a woman with the gift of prophecy, and three and a half-year-old children who may have professional talents.
The reward for this mercenary's mission that completely destroyed this family.
——It’s just a mere two hundred gold coins.
After a moment of silence, Anvis turned and left.
Behind him, according to the controller's wishes, the giant hand of the earth clenched into a fist again, and slowly sank deep into the ground with everything remaining in the palm.
The dead have passed away, but the living still have to struggle for their own destiny.
